Apple refreshes its MacBook Pro line-up

Yup, they’re refreshed all right. Apple’s online store just came roaring back to life after being down for quite some time and, surprise, surprise, some new MacBook Pros have appeared. As expected, Apple has rolled out models with Intel’s Core i5 and Core i7 mobile chipsets. The base model 15″ MBP now starts off at $1,799 and has a 2.4GHz Core i5 processor, 4GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M with 256MB RAM, 320GB HDD and up to 9 hours of battery life. If you’re feeling absolutely crazy and have an extra $1,400 to spare you can bump your storage up to a 512GB SSD. If you want to improve on the display, an extra $100 will get you a Hi-Res 1680×1050 glossy display. Throw in an extra $50 on top of that and you’ll have yourself some anti-glare goodness. When it comes to the 17″ model, Apple has outdone itself. A very competitive $2,299 yields a 2.53GHz Core i5 processor, 4GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT300M with 512MB RAM, 500GB HDD, 1920×1200 Hi-Res Glossy display and a battery life rated from 8 to 9 hours. A 2.66 Core i7 processor is available for an extra $200 while 128GB, 256GB and 512GB SSDs are available for an extra $200, $650 and $1,300. An anti-glare display option is available on the 17″ for $50.
